What is Technical Polyester?

Polyester is a synthetic fiber derived from thermoplastic polymers, widely used in the textile industry for its high resistance and ease of maintenance. When integrated into the field of technical textiles, it acquires additional properties through coating processes, fireproof treatments, stain-resistant finishes, or water resistance, making it an ideal material for professional upholstery.

 

At Alonso Mercader, we select state-of-the-art polyester fibers to create customized technical fabrics capable of meeting the needs of the most demanding sectors, where aesthetics must go hand in hand with functionality.

Technical polyester fabric offers multiple advantages to architects, interior designers, upholsterers, and specifiers, as it combines advanced mechanical performance, a wide variety of aesthetics, and optimized costs, without sacrificing a contemporary design adapted to all types of projects.

The use of technical polyester fabrics offers decisive advantages in professional interior design:

 

Resistance and durability

Polyester is characterized by its high tenacity, which allows it to resist wear, traction, and intensive use, maintaining its structure intact in high-traffic environments such as hotels, restaurants, or communities.

 

Dimensional stability

Unlike natural fibers, polyester does not deform with humidity or temperature changes, ensuring a uniform and long-lasting appearance.

 

Easy maintenance

Polyester repels dirt and dries quickly, qualities that are highly valued in restoration, healthcare, and spa projects, where hygiene and easy maintenance are priorities.

 

Design adaptability

Thanks to its ability to be dyed in bulk, polyester offers vivid, fade-resistant colors, with a wide range of colors and textures to suit any decorative style.

 

Compatibility with technical finishes

Polyester can receive special treatments such as fire retardant, stain resistant, antistatic, or waterproof, making it a high-performance fabric for regulated sectors such as aviation, transportation, and healthcare.

Alonso Mercader’s technical polyester fabric is an optimal choice in many sectors:

 

  • Contract: upholstery for chairs, sofas, armchairs, or wall panels in hotels, offices, and public spaces.
  • Hospitality and catering: stain-resistant and easy-to-clean textiles in high-traffic areas.
